If the Lakers offense had bored you from time to time on TV, trying studying the triangle offense to make things interesting.

You guys probably already know the scheme, but thought this article was a nice breakdown on the basics… given we think our guys like to stand around, they’re actually running a play potentially resulting in multiple plays!

Phil Jackson X Hat – Authentics are Still Out There

g$ — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:46:30 +0000

Celebrating his 10th coaching championship, Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers allowed collegefund.org to be the exclusive distributor of the internationally recognized and commemorative “X” cap (designed by his agent), where all proceeds go to the American Indian College Fund per his request according to the LA Times. I’m a big fan of FlexFit, but it probably doesn’t matter because this soon-to-be rare piece of memorabilia will NOT touch anyone’s head under MY roof. These caps are still selling for $25 at collegefund.org. Come up by making it priceless after investing in a case.

Left side (in purple stitching): “’09 ’02 ’01 ’00 ’98″
Right side (in purple stitching): “’91 ’92 ’93 ’96 ’97″
Front: “X”
Back: “PJ”

Thanks to #1SportsFan Collectables for allowing me to peep this cap in person, a local shop in the Inland Empire.

Daily Check-up: There are sites out there selling these hats, but I’m going with Phil’s word and sticking with collegefund.org.

Michael Jordan Series Gatorade – 6 Limited Edition Bottles

g$ — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:48:26 +0000

The beloved Air Jordan, sheduled to enshrine into to the Hall of Fame September 10-12, 2009, instantly turns absolutely anything into “priceless” with his name on it. Came up at our nearby Vons in suburbia, on my weekly household grocery run, and there I caught myself unstacking loads of Gatorade from the others with Mike’s imprint, and looking more of a goof throwing in the vendor’s advertising poster hoping the Vons cashier wouldn’t mind if I politely asked. They probably gave me the poster for already looking like a goof.

Not cool enough to receive 1 of the 23 Gatorade coolers made and designed to celebrate these collectors bottles… but was creative enough to utilize the 12-bottle MJ cardboard carton to accompany the Hall of Fame poster. We really think we made something out of absolutely nothing, spending a Vons Club price of $0.88 a bottle, a whopping $10.56 spent for this complete setup. Gatorade’s website also include descriptive detail of their limited bottles. Now here’s the question: Waste of space? or.. Come up?

Daily Check-up: eBay sold 6 complete without any box for $47 shipped, another for $37 shipped… yikes.

Hmm… where can I store these guys?

UPDATE: Vons Club price as of 9/4/2009, but no more cartons… $0.68!!
